CPAs See Economic Recovery Act As Beneficial

At a seminar explaining President Rea¬ gan’s Tax Act of 1981, Rob Frazer, a CPA with the major accounting firm of Ernst & Whinney in Charlotte, N.C., told nearly 225 persons that The Tax Act of 1981 is one of the most sweeping acts the United States has ever seen and the people will benefit from it. The seminar, sponsored by the Broyhill Academy at Gardner-Webb College and Ernst & Whinney, was held on the Col¬ lege campus Thursday evening. The audience, composed of CPAs, attorneys, small businessmen, farmers and indivi¬ dual tax payers, heard of individual tax cuts, a new depreciation system, a re¬ duced estate and gift tax and changes concerning individual retirement plans, of savings certificates, dividends and invest¬ ment credits. “Overall, we’re getting a tremendous tax reduction,” stated Frazer. His remarks of the tax act’s possible benefits were not • isolated, but supported strongly by other speakers from the Charlotte accounting firm. Michael R. Weinberg, 1, and Edward J.
